I want to replace the rear sight on a p-83 with something I can actually pick up on. I just can't find any aftermarket stuff. I can find plenty though for the Bulgie's and Russian Makarovs. Are the dove notches on the P-83 the same size as the ones on the Maks? I mean, standardizing certain parts of pistols would be the smart thing to do, for quick field repairs and stuff, but I don't know how forward-thinking the Soviets were, considering.

Jesus sez 'Pack Heat' Luke 22:36: "Then said he unto them, But now,
he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that
hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

I meant you could always get the full civilian model p-83. Then you'd have those brighter sights with no modification needed. Otherwise you might want to have a gunsmith check your current p-83 to see what if any modification needs to be done to install an aftermarket sight.

Or have you thought about using model paint or nail polish to just brighten the existing sights?
